What Is The Cause For A Sharp Pain Abve The Lower Back While Coughing?

Hi, my name is David I am having a sharp pain just above the lower back on my right side, it really hurts when I cough or laugh or any tensing for that matter. It does not hurt when I lie down , I feel that it may be an organ. I thought that it was kidneys but I think that the pain is to high in the back for that. It does not hurt when I bend over or move or anything like that so I do not think it is muscles or ligaments and do not think it is the spine. Because, it is of to the side of the spine.
